"We'll show early classics such as WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, BRIGADOON, ROYAL WEDDING and COOL HAND LUKE as well as later classics MCCABE AND Mrs. Miller, KELLEY'S HEROES and CLUE."

"Plus, we are once again hosting the Thursday Family Films series in July with THE NEVERENDING STORY, FLIPPER, FOLLOW THAT BIRD and THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN. THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW returns as part of the Reel Late at the VIC series lineup, along with PURPLE RAIN and Led Zeppelin: THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. We are still using 35 mm prints as much as possible, keeping the prices low and offering free popcorn and soda at most every show. Come on down and see these great films on the big screen with us this summer."

PRICE REMAINS BEST DEAL IN TOWN!
